He was wearing a military uniform, and although the right side of his face was covered in scars, he still stood upright.
Ah Qing and Gongsun Cheng had become accustomed to Gongsun Yan's work pace. Upon seeing this, they greeted Zhang Zhu and Alan and left with the puppy.
At this moment, Zhang Zhang took out a thin silk book from his sleeve.
"Madam, this is the proven distribution of mineral deposits around Lingzhi."
Gongsun was overjoyed and drank the red date soup in his hand. He packed up the papers in front of him and cleared a place on the table.
Although Gongsun Yan's current focus is still on dealing with the Hu people going south, handling the war, and appeasing the people.
But it doesn't stop her from doing other work at the same time.
For example, gather another specialty of Youbei besides the sudden cavalry - the ranger.
For example, explore for mineral deposits!
Those who establish Qi Qi, create prestige and blessings, and make connections with power to become stronger in the world are called knight-errants.
Xia is an important part of the social style of the entire Han Dynasty.
There may be some of these knights who truly implement the word knight, but most of them are still people who gather together and engage in illegal activities to make a living.
In the land of Youbei, the common people are stupid and careless, frivolous and have no power, and they are often invaded by foreign barbarians. In addition, the Han government's policy of moving the world's treacherous officials and people to the border.
Places like Lulongsai, where prisoners are distributed, often produce high-quality and unruly people.
When Zhao Yun went to Lulong, he first hired a group of strong men to hang on the wall.
However, the vicious fights, cutting off each other's ears to serve as food and drinks, still happened from time to time, leaving Gongsun Yan dumbfounded.
I don’t know what the bloody and chapped raw ears taste like when you bite them.
It is impossible to let these street guys with some courage go.
In line with the principle of recycling waste, no one can idle around.
At the time of Lulong, she instructed Zhang Zhang to use wealth to open roads and kill people to conquer people, and she recruited a group of rangers to serve as ears, eyes and tongue.
And select those with outstanding qualities and train them.
The intention is to establish an organization similar to the Jinyiwei, which will directly control the bodyguards and conduct patrols and arrests.
Although people in later generations often have negative impressions of Jin Yiwei, such as the hawks and dogs of the imperial court, they only remember him as handsome in the flying fish suit.
But Jin Yiwei does not only do those shady and dirty jobs.
While supervising hundreds of officials, as an intelligence agency it is also responsible for collecting military information and instigating rebellion against enemy generals.
It once played a huge role in the Korean War during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to these military and national affairs, Jin Yiwei is also responsible for public security management, criminal punishment, urban management, and the appearance of the city's streets.
Cleaning streets, dredging ditches, city defense and security, etc., may not seem to have anything to do with Jinyiwei, but this is also one of the responsibilities.
They even have to take on the work of training elephants and raising elephants.
Gongsun Yan wanted to form such a comprehensive law enforcement department.
After the cooperation of Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan, and Zhang Zhu, the prototype has finally taken shape.
It's a pity that the system is not perfect yet, the training time is still short, these rangers have not got rid of their bad habits, and they are not yet able to perform well.
But simple tasks can still be undertaken.
This time, Gongsun Yan asked them to lead experienced mine managers and government gold miners to search for ore.
This world is different from her original world. She once wanted to cheat and directly bought the modern mineral distribution and spent a fortune on material points, but was slapped in the face by the cruel reality.
Now seeing several monograms on this silk book, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "Thank you for your hard work, Anyuan."
"This is a matter that belongs to my subordinates. Madam, my words are serious." She opened her hands and cupped her hands, not taking any credit.
Gongsun Yan smiled and shook his head.
Among everyone, I don’t know if he has followed Zhao Yun for the longest time, but Zhang’s writing style is particularly similar to Zhao Yun.
The same incorruptibility and introspection, even the minor flaws are exactly the same.
"Follow Alan to my private treasury, transfer two carts of goods and cloth, and get some good knives to reward meritorious subordinates."
"Now that the ban has just been lifted in Lingzhi City, there should be no wine and meat sellers. Go to the kitchen to get a few carts of wine and meat. Do you understand?"
Gongsun Yan gave instructions while picking up a pen to write down the note and stamped it with a small seal.
Zhang Zhang was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to refuse, Gongsun Yan raised his hand to stop him: "You don't want the reward, but the people below still want it."
Zhao Yun doesn't like to strive for credit, he just works hard and never says a word no matter how hard or tired he is.
Such people are prone to suffering from boredom wherever they live in any era.
What's more, in this cruel and bloody era, if we don't strive for credit or grab resources, how can we support our people?
Get a sleeve of fresh air?
People are all utilitarian. Most people may respect the style of an honest person, but they will not be loyal for a long time.
Especially for a general like Zhao Yun who fights on the battlefield, the loyalty of his subordinates and generals is even more important.
Knowing that he had such a temperament, Gongsun Yan usually cared more for him.
Her words made Zhang Zhang stunned for a moment, and then he lowered his head with some sadness, as if he was embarrassed to receive these rewards.
"Okay! Go quickly!" Gongsun Yan did not allow him to be polite anymore, handed the note to Alan, and asked Alan to lead Zhang forward.
Her private purse is extremely rich now.
He held his hand again, expressed his thanks, and then left with Alan open.
Watching them go away, Gongsun Yan smiled and lowered his head.
The spring breeze turns into rain, moisturizing things silently, and caring from the big to the small is not necessarily a good "inclusion".
There was no one in the room, so she stood up, picked up the silk book on the table, and walked to the map in the study to compare it.
In Gongsun Yan's world, the land in western Liaoning is rich in mineral resources.
Gongsun Yan doesn't have much confidence in this world.
There is a rumor that there is a fire well in Haiyang that is 50 feet long and has an unknown depth, where a stove can be set up to cook salt.
Gongsunyan is probably a natural gas well.
For the rest, we found several government-established iron mines in the prefect's mansion.
Gongsun Yan is currently in urgent need of various local mineral deposits for his next move.
Everything that is good is based on the system, but the system is not absolutely infallible.
Her current behavior of using the system is a variant of comprador.
History has already given the answer: the comprador economy and comprador thinking will not work.
In the past, she mostly coaxed Zhao Yun into living a life, but now, she sincerely hopes that the world will develop in a good direction.
There would be fewer tragedies like those in Yangqiuli, and more people would survive.
Surrounded by children and grandchildren, die in a warm bed instead of being starved and cold, dead in the road with no one to restrain yourself.
Therefore, for the future she desires, after reaching a certain level of scale and having some personnel base, the transformation of the entire force is imperative.
Rationally utilize and develop local resources and climb the technology tree.
Build water conservancy, promote high-yielding crops, and cope with the strange climate changes of the Little Ice Age in the future.
Education, talent cultivation.
Building an army is enough to protect the homeland and conquer the country everywhere.
It starts from many aspects including war, politics, economy, science and technology, society, medical treatment, etc.
This will be a complex and complex project that will last for a long time.
Gongsun Yan took a shallow breath, looked at the cloth in his hand, found a place on the map, and tapped it lightly with his fingertips.
Here is the beginning.
